Lineage & Origin of Hulkberry Auto
The Hulkberry Auto strain, crafted by Royal Queen Seeds, is a potent autoflower that traces its roots to the acclaimed Bruce Banner #3 Auto. In pursuit of robust potency, Hulkberry Auto was developed by blending Ghost OG with Strawberry Diesel, a pairing that brought forth intense aroma and potency. To enhance its autoflowering capability, Diesel Auto was integrated, creating a compact and quick-flowering plant with remarkable resilience. The resulting sativa-dominant hybrid (65% sativa) maintains a stable genetic profile, optimized for those seeking an easy-to-grow plant with powerful effects.
This unique genetic lineage has produced a strain that meets the needs of both novice and experienced growers, combining potency with simplicity. Hulkberry Auto provides an efficient growth cycle while delivering the rich, terpene-filled aroma and effects associated with its legendary parent strains. This is the autoflowering version of Hulkberry.
Sativa or Indica?
Hulkberry Auto is primarily a sativa-dominant hybrid, with a genetic mix of 65% sativa, 30% indica, and 5% ruderalis. This balance results in a plant that offers the uplifting effects associated with sativas while maintaining manageable growth traits from the indica side.
Despite its sativa dominance, Hulkberry Auto maintains a compact structure ideal for stealth cultivation. Its indica genetics contribute to its sturdy, bushy form, keeping its height around 3 to 4 feet, both indoors and outdoors, without compromising on potency.
